No, but I would imagine that read/write_xml will be among the most 
common uses of the library. Besides, having only numeric keys is unusual 
for the other formats too: JSON, INI, etc. (Not forbidden, just unusual.)
BTW, I've looked it up, and an XML element or attribute name may indeed 
only start with an undescore, a colon, or a "Letter" which is defined as 
a wide range of unicode characters, but not including digits. So for 
XML, it is forbidden.
